We carry hardwoods that burn well and provide good heat for residential use. We season the wood properly before selling it, which brings the moisture content down to appropriate levels for clean burning. This preparation process results in firewood that lights more easily and burns more efficiently than green or improperly dried wood.
About Our Firewood
The wood we sell has been split and prepared for burning. Pieces are cut to standard lengths that fit most fireplaces and wood stoves. We prepare our wood to have low moisture content for proper burning. This attention to preparation makes a significant difference in how well the wood performs when you use it.
Properly seasoned firewood should have a moisture content below 20%. Wood that retains too much moisture will not burn well and creates more smoke and creosote. We test our wood with moisture meters to verify it meets proper standards for burning. You will notice seasoned wood appears grayer than fresh cut wood and feels lighter when handled.
Proper Storage Guidelines
Store firewood off the ground and cover the top to protect from rain and snow. Leave the sides open to allow air circulation through the stack. This prevents the wood from absorbing moisture and helps maintain its burning quality.
Position your wood stack in a location that receives some sunlight and air movement when possible. A woodshed or covered area works well, but even a tarp over the top provides adequate protection if other options are not available.
Understanding Quality Firewood
Hardwoods burn longer and produce more heat than softwoods like pine. Different hardwood species offer various burning characteristics. Some woods light easily and burn quickly, while others provide long-lasting coals for extended heat output. Well-seasoned hardwood of any type will outperform green or wet wood significantly.
Green or wet wood proves difficult to light and produces excessive smoke. It also generates less heat because energy goes toward evaporating water instead of providing warmth. Proper seasoning eliminates these problems and makes firewood much more effective for heating.
Why Choose Fraser Fir Trees
Fraser firs remain one of the most popular Christmas tree varieties for good reason. Their strong branches support heavier ornaments, and their pleasant scent fills the space without overpowering it. Unlike other firs, Fraser needles resist shedding when watered regularly and kept cool.
